Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pete Tyler (ranked 174 p4p, 320 weight class) and Roman Zhdanov (ranked 26 p4p, 43 weight class). Zhdanov has chosen Малиновая Лада (Raspberry Lada) by Gayazov$ Brother$ as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
